Lifestyles of the Rich and Out of Touch”: NRCC Hits Multimillionaire Candidate Sean Eldridge in New Paid Web Ad
Eldridge’s Political Hobnobbing Highlighted in Video


 WASHINGTON – The National Republican Congressional Committee is launching a paid web ad today targeting multimillionaire New York carpetbagger and presumed 19th District of New York Democratic Congressional candidate Sean Eldridge.

The ad, “Lifestyles of the Rich and Out of Touch,” highlights Eldridge’s enormous wealth, his hobnobbing with Washington Democratic elites like Nancy Pelosi, and his experience using his wealth to play the game of big money politics in New York. The ad portrays a stark contrast between Eldridge and current 19th District Congressman Chris Gibson, a 24-year Army veteran who has served 7 combat tours, has earned a Purple Heart, as well as other distinguished honors for his service.

“While Sean Eldridge and his Super PAC friends look down on the 19th District of New York from the deck of Eldridge’s infinity pool at his new $2 million mansion in Shokan, Congressman Chris Gibson continues to be an independent voice in Congress and is working every day for his constituents,” said NRCC Spokesman Ian Prior.

“Eldridge is about to find out that running for Congress in the 19th District is not about how many millions he has or how quickly Nancy Pelosi returns his phone calls – it is about public service. That is an area where Eldridge has no experience, and it’s obvious that Chris Gibson is the better choice for New York’s families,” added Prior.
